Product details
Overview
2PD602AS,115 from Nexperia is an NPN general-purpose bipolar junction transistor in SC-59 (SOT346) package, rated for 50 V VCEO, 500 mA IC, and DC current gain (hFE) of 170–340 at 150 mA. It delivers 600 mV VCE(sat) at 300 mA/30 mA drive and operates up to 180 MHz fT, suited for low-voltage switching in consumer power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2PD602AS,115 datasheet, 2PD602AS,115 pinout, 2PD602AS,115 application, or 2PD602AS,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified hFE range, SC-59 thermal resistance (500 K/W), VCEO/IC derating behavior, and PNP complement availability (2PB710A).
Technical Context
This discrete NPN transistor uses silicon planar epitaxial technology with base-emitter and collector-base junctions optimized for stable DC amplification and fast switching. Its 180 MHz transition frequency and low 15 pF collector capacitance support moderate-speed digital and analog signal handling.
The device adheres to IEC 134 absolute maximum ratings and is characterized under standard FR4 PCB mounting conditions. Thermal resistance (Rth j-a = 500 K/W) and junction temperature limit (Tj = 150 °C) define its safe operating area in ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition; defines upper rail limit in low-side switch designs. |
| IC | 500 mA - Continuous DC collector current rating; supports load switching up to ~250 mW dissipation at 25 °C ambient. |
| hFE | 170–340 - DC current gain at 150 mA/10 V; enables low-base-drive control of medium-current loads. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 600 mV - Saturation voltage at 300 mA IC and 30 mA IB; ensures <180 mW conduction loss in saturated switching. |
| fT | 180 MHz - Transition frequency at 50 mA/10 V; suitable for audio preamp stages and sub-100 MHz digital logic interfacing. |
| Rth j-a | 500 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4; requires derating above 25 °C ambient to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN general-purpose transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBT2222ALT1G | VCEO = 40 V, hFE = 100–300, SOT-23 package, Rth j-a = 400 K/W | Lower voltage rating limits use in 48 V auxiliary rails; higher thermal efficiency suits tighter layouts. | Select when board space is constrained and 40 V max rail suffices. |
| BC847BW | VCEO = 45 V, hFE = 200–450, SOT-323 package, Rth j-a = 550 K/W | Narrower VCEO margin and higher thermal resistance require stricter ambient control. | Prefer where higher hFE tolerance is critical and thermal budget permits. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for the 2PD602AS,115?
The 2PD602AS,115 has a maximum continuous DC collector current (IC) of 500 mA at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. Derating applies above this temperature per its 500 K/W thermal resistance; at 70 °C ambient, usable IC drops to approximately 300 mA to maintain junction temperature ≤ 150 °C. This rating is validated under FR4 PCB mounting conditions per IEC 134.
Does the 2PD602AS,115 have a documented PNP complement?
Yes, the 2PD602AS,115 has a documented PNP complement: the 2PB710A. Both devices share identical SC-59 (SOT346) packaging and complementary electrical specifications, enabling matched pair design in push-pull or differential amplifier configurations. The 2PB710A's hFE range and voltage ratings align with those of the 2PD602AS,115 for balanced performance.
What is the DC current gain (hFE) range of the 2PD602AS,115 at typical operating conditions?
The 2PD602AS,115 exhibits a DC current gain (hFE) of 170–340 when measured at IC = 150 mA and VCE = 10 V, per its official product data sheet. At higher current (IC = 500 mA), hFE drops to a minimum of 40, reflecting expected beta roll-off-critical for designing base drive networks that maintain saturation across load variations.
Is the 2PD602AS,115 suitable for switching 12 V inductive loads like relays or solenoids?
Yes, the 2PD602AS,115 supports 12 V inductive load switching, provided external protection (e.g., flyback diode across the coil) is used. Its 50 V VCEO rating gives 4× margin over 12 V, and its 1 A peak collector current (ICM) handles relay coil surge currents. Ensure base drive delivers ≥30 mA for full saturation, and verify thermal dissipation remains within 250 mW Ptot at operating ambient.
What package type does the 2PD602AS,115 use, and is it compatible with standard SMT assembly processes?
The 2PD602AS,115 uses the SC-59 package, also known as SOT346 or TO-236, with standardized 3-lead surface-mount geometry. Its 1.9 mm lead pitch and 3.1 × 1.7 mm body comply with IPC-7351 guidelines, ensuring compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles and automated pick-and-place equipment used in high-volume SMT production.
